oh look another starting lineup change and another pathetic start

only so much AD can do. he can't carry 4 players on his back

 

[ALonelyDad]

Next game Ham needs to suit up himself, that is the final lineup

 

[Voice of Reason]

Let's get Rozier and Nick Richards.

Teams just spam 3's vs us and we defend it so poorly smh.

 

[seraphx]

Because our 3 defense is so bad it gives ANY team a chance against us smh.

None of the guards can defend, Cam is inconsistent, and Vando is still hurt.

Both AD and LeBron are averaging 29 the last 5 games. That Christmas eggnog probably still hitting tho.

If Max could give consistent defense it would help so much.

Honestly Max has been better than Vando.. Vando's offense has been so bad it counters whatever defense he does give you

No he has not. That last shift is the first time Christie has looked good in a while. Christie was getting cooked for multiple games before he fell out of the rotation.

Vando has been getting cooked on defense brah.. He has not been good even on defense, and he's one of the worst offensive players in the league right now

there's very few guys that u can justify playing if they give you nothing offensively and they're usually big guys playing on a team with a lot of offensive talent (kendrick perkins, ben wallace, Looney, etc). Vanderbilt is not one of those guys and this team is so poor offensively that we have to play 4 on 5 pretty much. and then you play cam reddish who's a 0 offensively so it becomes 3 on 5.

 

[steph_harden]

DLO has some major issues that extend beyond just #'s

He's unplayable against good teams unless his 3 ball is hitting at a great rate. Murray can at least give you some semblance of defense and attack the rim. They aren't comparable as players imo

He’ll give you more than a semblance.

He was first team all defense a couple years ago. He’s 4 or 5 best defenders at his position in the entire league.

The issue will be can he create his shot consistently? Can he shot the 3 at a consistent level?

Still not sure.

 

[jaydawg08]

Vando just upped his scoring average for the season with that bucket!!

This is why I really think we might as well play the old starting lineup with Reaves and Dlo and Vando. They play that shyt with Tauren all the time smh.
